Towards the end of 2024, the Municipal House will host the largest choral concert to celebrate the Year of Czech Music and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Bedřich Smetana. It will celebrate the most important choral compositions of Czech music and also the Advent season. The tradition of choral singing is extremely strong in the Czech Republic, which is why the main performers will be amateur choirs from all over the country. About 1,000 performers will appear at the Municipal House in total. It will be possible to watch this extraordinary performance live on CT Art from 20:15 or listen to it live on Czech Radio D-Dur from 16:00 and on Czech Radio Vltava from 20:00.
The concert was financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Capital of Prague.
Individual tickets: CZK 1,200 | CZK 900
The organiser reserves the right to change the list of scheduled performers.
